Trauma and Attachment in Young People – A Therapeutic Response

"This training session has 'stayed with me'. It has helped me immensely, being grounded in neuropsych 'cause and effect' research and delivered by an inspiring, practical presenter too. Bravo!"

Kate D. - Foster Carer

This workshop provides a range of practical tools and strategies for responding to traumatised children. The workshop is free for accredited foster carers from any organisation. Other professionals have a heavily discounted price of $90.00. Light lunch and refreshments provided.

The Trauma and Attachment training aims to provide carers and staff with an in depth understanding of:

how a child’s exposure to complex trauma and poor attachment relationships impacts on different areas of their functioning

how to respond to challenging behaviours in a therapeutic way that assists children to heal from previous trauma & neglect and form positive relationships with their carers and supports.

The facilitator is the psychologist Trent Savill. Trent has over 12 years of experience working with complex and high-risk young people in the child-protection system. He provides consultancy to the Department of Communities (Child Safety) and the non-government sector through intensive in-home therapy to children and families, training to carers and professionals, and coordination of residential care programs.

Trent’s primary role now involves consulting with the Department and other agencies around their most complex cases and delivering training around the provision of therapeutic care (Understanding and Responding to Complex Trauma and Attachment).
